Is the pollination efficiency of long-lived orchid flowers affected by age?
Revista Ceres, 2015 The long-lived flowers of orchids increase the chances of pollination and thus the reproductive success of the species. However, a question arises: does the efficiency of pollination, expressed by fruit set, vary with the flower age?

Some experiments on the commercial hand pollination of Kaki (Japanese persimmon)
Engei Gakkai zasshi, 1950 Some leading Kaki varieties, especially “Fuyu”, have no male flower, and rarely set by parthenocarpy. To ensure the fruit set of such varieties, hani pollination method is recom-mended in Japan. This experiment was perfomed at Okitsu Hort. Exp. Sta. to ascertain the most effective method of hand pollination. 1.
